Bad parenting in a Democrat run city.........

'45 or more' kids in DC routinely steal from CVS, then 'stomp on' food and beverages as shelves remain empty

'A big group of kids, like 45 or more, walk in before school, after school and late at night to steal chips and drinks,' Fox 5 reported

A group of roughly 45 kids routinely ransack a CVS in Washington, D.C., with many thieves taking the food and beverages and stomping on them, according to a Fox 5 report. 

"When you walk into this CVS, you'd think the store is closing because there's barely anything on the shelves," Fox 5 reporter Sierra Fox said of a CVS in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of D.C. "In fact, the only items in stock are the ones that are locked up. I did ask an employee what gets stolen the most, and they just laughed and said ‘everything.’"

Republican run Jacksonville (Lenny Curry 2015-2023) sure can relate since Jacksonville was pretty much one of the top murder per capita cities during the 8-year Lenny Curry era

A problem to be sure, but a completely different problem, without correlation to the looting in DC.

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

Everything Drifter said is probably right, except the first sentence blaming it on Democrats.
Big cities elect Democrats. Smaller cities elect Republicans. Some have a lot of crime, some have comparatively less.
The choices parents make raising their kids and the choices school boards make in educating them are much more pertinent than the choices the families make when they vote for mayor or city council.

Drifter stated looting is a result of bad parenting.  Looting is a subset of crime, to which murder is also a subset of crime.  If one is to blame looting on bad parenting, I'd have to think gang banging, killing, and other such crimes would fall into that same category.  Personally, I don't place the full blame on bad parenting but rather a lawless Government

Can you help me understand why New York City (run mostly by Democrats) has lower crime rates than Jacksonville (run mostly by Republicans)?

 I looked it up, because I wasn't sure what you said was accurate, and it's true.  Jacksonville has a higher crime rate than New York City for both violent crimes and property crimes.

Cops per capita is one reason. NYC has 42 per 10k while Jax has 20 per 10k. Population density matters to police work as well. New York City has 6 times as many people crushed into 1/4 the square miles, which makes those 42 cops per 10k people have way less ground to cover to provide police presence. One thing to note in the geography as well is that NYC crime is relatively evenly spread across the city while in Jax we have about 8 zip codes that look like nova stars on a plot map.  In those zip codes you find all the harbingers of violent crime, ie a high bastardy rate, single motherhood, poverty, unemployment, economic anxiety, high risk health populations, drug and alcohol abuse, a homogenous population (guess which!), and a small police presence. These are a few reasons, but it's also interesting to note that Jacksonville and NYC aren't that different among the US 20 most populous cities. The real difference in crime rates between D's and R's is found in the next 80 most populous; it seems that big cities' large populations mitigate the differences while smaller ones don't.

If you don’t prosecute was there a crime?

Yes.  These stats look at crimes reported, even if the police never figure out who did the crime and even if a prosecutor refuses to bring charges.

That was a surprisingly thoughtful response. Can you give some good examples of what you're talking about in this "next 80"?
Also, do you agree that there are lessons that leaders in Jacksonville could take to help those 8 or so zip codes reduce their crime rate to be more similar to what we see today in Harlem or other predominantly Black parts of NYC?

Yes. I would recommend watching some Thomas Sowell videos on YouTube.

I misread your post but my suggestion still stands. Obviously New York, or any other large city, cares nothing for Thomas Sowell’s viewpoint. 

My guess is if they were to spend any time regarding his views, their ideological response would be to say that Tom is a fitting name for him.

You might be wrong about that.  Even if they wouldn't associate themselves with Sowell doesn't mean they didn't use some of his ideas, even if they didn't realize they were his ideas. 
Point is, they did something right up there that we could learn from.  I don't know what it was.  Someone does.

.... but Drifter simply attributes it to bad parenting in a Democratic run city.
